This book reinterprets the Leveller authorships of John Lilburne,
Richard Overton and William Walwyn, and foregrounds the role of
ordinary people in petitioning and protest during an era of civil
war and revolution. The Levellers sought to restructure the state
in 1647-49 around popular consent and liberty for conscience,
especially in their Agreement of the People. Their following was
not a 'movement' but largely a political response of the sects that
had emerged in London's rapidly growing peripheral neighbourhoods
and in other localities in the 1640s. This study argues that the
Levellers did not emerge as a separate political faction before
October 1647, that they did not succeed in establishing extensive
political organisation, and that the troop revolt of spring 1649
was not really a Leveller phenomenon. Addressing the contested
interpretations of the Levellers throughout, this book also
introduces Leveller history to non-specialist readers.
